    Prestolite and Leece-Neville alternators

    The 60 amp leece neville and the prestolite and the autolite versions were all interchangeable to the same application... as they were physically mountable and internallly regulated. Of course there were variations in voltage and amperage for different applications... but the 60 amp 28V DC...

    Shocks

    Kickback in a Deuce is usually sprag related... not so in a air shift version. You will be getting tire and wheel imbalance around 40 mph... and loose wheel bearings and uneven tire pressures contribute, too

    Anyone ever cleaned/changed their M543/M816 Hydraulic Filter

    RE: filter If there is no white scum in it... aka water, it should be fine. Getting water out of one of those cranes is a lifetime job.... I ran one for chocolate milk in it for years and warned the buyer that the oil needed to be changed and allowed him $100 on the sale price.

    Looking for a wheel.

    Be advised that the original tire size is 9.50R16.5D. note the 16.5 wheels. If you have 16s, they are replacements. If you have original wheels the 265/75-16s will not fit.
